Fabric softener, which is supposed to soften things after washing, sometimes only makes things worse.

Many housewives have already remembered that it is better not to use this product when washing terry products. But this is not a complete list.

Here are some items that will look better if you wash them without fabric softener.

In addition to terry products, which become stiff, smell bad and absorb moisture worse due to conditioner, the list continues with the following.

Wool

It is important to remember that the conditioner is not suitable for wool, cashmere and mohair items. Otherwise, the items will not be as warm, and due to poor rinsing, they may also become sticky.

Silk

In this case, it is not recommended to use conditioners and rinses at all. Household chemicals can cause stains and spots on clothes.

Water-repellent fabrics

These are mainly outerwear or sportswear, as well as thermal underwear. After washing with conditioner, the fabrics will lose their properties.

Microfiber

According to the creators, this material is designed to absorb moisture and retain dust. But if you wash the cleaning cloth with air conditioning, it will become useless.

Synthetics

All synthetic materials, as well as swimwear and underwear for body shaping.

These materials contain elastane fiber, which makes them durable and stretch-resistant.

The conditioner clogs the fabric fibers and the clothes lose their properties.
